Today, I realized that when a girl asks what your plans are for Valentine's Day and you say, "Nothing" and she responds with, "Oh, I don't have any plans either", it means she wants you to take her out. It took me three months to figure that out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML
Today, two days after sending her flowers for Valentine's Day, my dream girl asked me on a date. She didn't show up. Her boyfriend did though. FML
Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner. When she asked me if I would pay, I jokingly said, "Well, that depends on how the date goes." She looked me up and down and said, "No thanks then." FML
Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML
Today, the girl I’ve had a crush on for months told me she scored a Tinder date and she’s so excited to go out with him. Just last week, I worked up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend and she told me she doesn’t want a relationship, and “doesn’t believe in love anymore.” FML
Today, after trying really hard to impress a girl and thinking everything was going the right way, hugs, kisses and chatting every night, and trying to spend as much time together, I get told, "I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want." Meaning me. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she didn't know we were actually dating. FML
Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML
Today, I realized the reason I was asked to babysit 3 weeks ago for Feb 14 was because the old married couple with kids safely assumed that I wouldn't have a Valentine. FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't blame you, I hate it when people can't just say what they mean...

A least it only took you 3 months. It has taken me just under 2 years to figure out that that girl is interested in me.

Maybe she should just be straight forward saves a lot of time and energy

Ask her out, OP! Maybe a cute card/note and flowers? Doesn't have to be anything really expensive, but if you put a lot of thought into it, it'll show. Hopefully, she'll still be interested:) good luck!

I honestly don't think OP should go after that girl because the're probably totally mismatched. The girl went as far as asking him if he was free but wouldn't ask him out, so she's probably the type who will be subtle about everything. And OP couldn't catch the hint even thought she was as obvious as she could be without being explicit, so OP probably would be the kind that will never take her hints. They'll probably end up in an endless spiral of fights over silly things when OP can't read her mind and she can't just be direct. I've seem it happen a few times.

Ya know what is a lot sweeter than doing something romantic for her on valentines day? Doing something romantic for her on a day that men are not obligated to be romantic. I seriously think a guy doing something on a totally random day for me just because he wanted to means a lot more than him doing it on a day that he's "supposed to"

That's when you say you wanted to be fashionably late...

Dude! Go explain that you just now figured it out and ask her out! If she's a decent gal, it will be even better. Then come back and post a follow up.
